ChibiLaryla: Well, ::sigh:: I didn't think I'd update this so soon. :P Thanks for the reviews! And yes, I know Jeremy, Ulrich, and Odd's math teacher is a guy. (I just didn't remember that when I typed the first chapter) So, let's just say that the old math teacher has a pregnant monkey. XD Anyway......chapter 2!

I own nothing but Ms. Amoré!
Darkness Within God's Eye
Chapter 2: Nothing Is As Sweet As A Cherry Blossom
The bell ended, Ms. Amoré waved as everyone left the classroom. "I'll see you tomorrow class!" Jeremy, Ulrich, and Odd walked to the cafeteria for lunch. "You know, I like our new teacher." Odd stated.

Ulrich chuckled. "Yeah, she's less hardcore than all of our other teachers put together."

"......." Jeremy said nothing. He was too deep in his thoughts. Odd looked at Jeremy and blinked. "Hey, are you ok?"

"......." Jeremy was still silent. Ulrich turned his head towards Jeremy. "Hey!" he spoke up. Jeremy snapped out of it and shook his head. "Huh?"

Ulrich raised an eyebrow. "Hey, where were you?"

"......Nowhere, I'm fine." Jeremy shook his head some more. Odd shrugged. "Whatever you say."

The three met up with Yumi by the cafeteria door. The three went through the line and got themselves their lunch. As they sat down Yumi saw someone from the corner of her eye. She turned her head and saw a woman with long pink hair that was tied into a loose ponytail with a blue ribbon sit down at the teacher's table.

Yumi turned back to her friends and grinned. "Hey, who's that?" she pointed to the woman. Odd looked back. "Oh, that's our new substitute math teacher, Ms. Amoré. She's pretty cool."

"You mean a freak!" spoke a voice from behind. The four turned around and saw Sissy standing behind Ulrich, holding her lunch tray. "What kind of person has, out of all colors, pink hair?"

Yumi rested her elbow on the table and her head in her palm. She looked at Sissy, smirking. "Well, there are plenty of people back in Japan with different hair colors." Odd, who sat beside Yumi blinked at her. "You mean Ms. Amoré might be Japanese?"

Ulrich shook his head. "Naahh....her last name is too French to be Japanese."

"Well, I think she's way too nice. She's probably up to something." Sissy glared at Ms. Amoré. Sissy did her "humph" and walked to her table that seated her lackeys, Nicholas and Herb.

Jeremy sighed. "I can't believe I'm saying this but, I agree with Sissy...."

Odd nearly choked on his food. "Whoa! Now that's four words I'd never thought would be used in the same sentence!"

Yumi's eyes widened as she lifted up her head and rested her arm on the table. "What do you mean?"

"I mean look at her! Doesn't she look at least a little bit like Aelita?!" Jeremy nearly shouted. Odd looked at Ms. Amoré and squinted his eyes. "Now that you think about it....maybe a little."

Ulrich shrugged. "So she looks a bit like Aelita, what's the big deal?"

Jeremy sighed in disgust. "I don't know for sure .....I'm gonna go back to my room. Talk with Aelita." He scooted back his chair and stood up, picking up his tray Jeremy walked out of the cafeteria. The other three watched him leave and shrugged at each other.



Ms. Amoré and the other teachers were eating their lunches and holding out their conversations.

"So, you say you used to teacher here long ago?" the principal asked. Ms. Amoré nodded.

"Yes. Back when I was a computer scientist with my husband."

Jim, who couldn't take his eyes off Ms. Amoré gulped and sat up straight. "Husband?" Ms. Amoré turned to Jim and smiled. "Yes, but he died a long time ago after going insane with our latest production." she sighed. "It's quite sad."

Another teacher spoke up. "I hear you have a daughter." Ms. Amoré looked at the teacher before looking down at her lap. "I guess you can say that......"



Jeremy walked into his room and closed the door behind him. He walked to his computer and turned it on, connecting it to Lyoko. "Hello, Aelita?"

Aelita's virtual head appeared on Jeremy's computer screen. "Hello Jeremy."

"How are things in Lyoko?"

"It's been pretty quiet."

"Hmm....is that so?"

Aelita tilted her head. "Is something wrong?"

"I'm not sure....."

Aelita smiled. "Don't worry about it. It's probably nothing."

"If you say so......hey Aelita?"

"Yes?"

"Who.....who created you?"

"......I don't remember......but my exact purpose is to stop any X.A.N.A. attacks."

"......I see...."

Aelita had a concerned look on her face. "Why do you ask?"

"Well....we got this new math teacher, and she looks a lot like you."

Aelita looked more relieved. "Don't worry about it then; it's probably nothing more than a mere coincidence."

Jeremy sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I sure hope so...."
ChibiLaryla: Well, there you go! Some of you guys probably already know the outcome of this story already.... ::gonk:: Man, that's not what the word "Suspense" is all about!
